The crew of the 1987 Trident Warrior *Athena* installs a permanent city water connection at the Port Canaveral Yacht Club to bypass their 37-gallon onboard tank.1:29 The installation includes a pressure regulator to reduce dockside pressure to 40–50 psi and a one-way check valve to prevent back-flowing the boat's tank into the dock system.3:00 To mitigate the risk of flooding from a burst hose, the crew commits to shutting off the dockside water supply whenever leaving the boat for extended periods, relying on their 4,000-gallon-per-hour emergency bilge pump as a secondary safeguard.4:43 Additionally, the crew deploys inflatable Fendertex fenders with custom covers, splicing new double-braid lines to secure them in both vertical and horizontal orientations.8:07 They also acquire a 2001 Honda CR-V for local transport to nearby Merritt Island, Florida, for errands at West Marine and other suppliers.10:19 Turning off the dockside water supply when the boat is unattended remains the most effective method for preventing accidental flooding from a pressurized shore connection.
